At a meeting of the Senate held this evening [Bombay, September 30] the following was passed: The Syndicate is authorized to deal with the cases of students who have joined the Indian Defence Force if such students fail at any University examination except an examination for Honour’s or a Master’s or Doctor’s degree according to the merits of each case. Pending application to the Syndicate of any such student he should be allowed to attend classes for the next higher examination. This regulation will have retrospective effect for examinations of 1918. This regulation will be in operation till the end of September 1918. The Syndicate was requested to make a report to the Senate in July 1919 on the working of the new regulation and submit for consideration of the Senate proposals for definite regulations to deal with similar cases of students in future.
